Thank you for purchasing “Training Activities for Current Football Practices” that uses activities that have far more game representation, learning opportunities and transfer to games, then traditional and outdated cone to cone drills that a lot of coaches still use. Below I have categorised the training activities of which there are over 50 activities covered...
This is a possession based game with built-in mechanisms to implicitly direct players to hold the ball after a mark and also to wait for free options to become available. It uses 3 connected playing area’s and multiple balls to keep psychological and physical requirements high, such as in a game. Feel free to alter...
Pre-Season 2023 is just around the corner and with a new year should come new idea’s. To really amp up new idea’s if you can source those that are evidence-based then you’ll really be onto something. This post will provide both of those aspects and will allow you as coach, to maximise your training environment...
This is a great training activity to nail the basics of winning the contest at stoppage, especially for lesser experienced players regardless of age. It takes a tiny slice of the game and narrows the focus so players only need to focus on a few learning points so as not to overstretch too much and...

As I’ve mentioned previous times before, and what you may have noticed yourself, is that at local footy teams will defend with more players than they attack with most of the time,meaning they’ll have extra’s behind ball before they have extra’s in front of the ball. This is great for reducing the opposition from scoring...
About a month ago I posted about the 3 zones of football and how you could use it to guide your training more specifically than you currently do and today we’re going to have a look at how to that in regards to training to apply huge forward pressure which gives you increased game time...
This scenario is taken from an actual game but is really a multi-part play consisting of: 1 – Defensive Transition Positioning to Create Enticing Teasing Distance 2 – Offensive Transition Positioning to Create Enticing Pass Option + Engage Multiple Defenders Around You This will present itself in a game at various times but it’s also...
This game/training scenario piggy backs off off from yesterdays lengthening the ground scenario bit in the maybe the most important spot on the ground to get right. The kick inside forward 50 is the most critical kick in football but that can be set up by what you do with the ball and your players...
